How to cook Chicken Curry Empanada
Crumbly and crunchy, two things that make the chicken curry empanada one of the favorite snacks for Pinoys, both young and old. The tender crust that wraps this special recipe's savory and creamy filling is truly a pride for Filipino cuisine. In addition, it has bursting flavors of green bell peppers that add a little bit more spiciness to this yummy merienda.
To create a tastier chicken flavor, it's highly recommended to marinate the chicken meat in salt before preparing this recipe. You can make the filling in advance and put it in the fridge until you're ready to make your empanadas. However, make sure the filling is properly defrosted before you put them inside the crust to keep the original flavor of the marinated chicken.

One quick tip in making the Empanada Dough, it's better to use a food processor when mixing the dough than a fork. It will help you create the best flavors from the ingredients while making sure the filling is properly mixed. Let the dough sit for two hours after kneading to make it easier to assemble.
After wrapping the chicken potato curry filling in the buttery empanada dough, deep-fry them to achieve a crumbly and crunchy snack for the whole family.
